Description: | This image of Saint John Baptist has been attributed to Giovanni Battista Caracciolo. A follower of Caravaggio and friend of Jusepe Ribera, Caracciolo became one of the leading artists of the Neapolitan school during the first half of the seventeenth century. This type of image of the Baptist, depicted as a child or adolescent, was inspired by Caravaggesque models, and was often reproduced in prints, and contributed to the artist's success among his Neapolitan patrons. | Subjects: | religion (St John the Baptist) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Caracciolo, Giovanni Battista (Italian painter, 1578-1635) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Cajés, Eugenio (Spanish painter, 1575-1634) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9031... | Go to resource |
